Does trileptal cause gum swelling or make you more prone to cavities or other oral issues?

Not listed...: The side effects you list are not listed under Trileptal's side effects. This does not mean that it is impossible for these effects to occur with oxcarbazepine. If you are experiencing adverse effects from medications, please see your doctor.

No: Not according to the literature. Be sure to brush thoroughly 2x/day and floss daily. Have regular professional care.

No: Trileptal is the keto-analogue of carbamazepine, is reported to be as effective as carbamazepine for trigeminal neuralgia and is considered a first line drug by some. It doesn't affect a person's dental and oral health.
